Created by best-selling author Michael Crichton ("Jurassic Park"), ER follows the doctors and nurses of County's emergency room as they confront the daily challenges of a busy urban hospital, including overcrowded waiting rooms, staffing shortages, and the impact of life-and-death decisions.  Dr. Luka Kovac (Goran Visnjic) and Dr. Kerry Weaver (Laura Innes) lead a talented staff of physicians, including Dr. Gregory Pratt (Mekhi Phifer), Dr. Abby Lockhart (Maura Tierney), nurse Samantha Taggart (Linda Cardellini), and others.  The show is notable not only for its myriad Emmy Awards, but for helping launch the career of a then-relatively-unknown George Clooney.</description><language>en</language><docs>http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification</docs><webMaster>webmaster@blinkx.com (blinkx webmaster)</webMaster><pubDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:40:33 +0000</pubDate><lastBuildDate>Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:40:33 +0000</lastBuildDate><image><url>http://tv.blinkx.comhttp://cdn.blinkx.com/store/images/video/b/09/TVShows/64cfed0fe666cb33dabad3b9939f16e9.jpg</url><title>Watch Full Episodes of ER Online</title><link>http://tv.blinkx.com/show/er/OViUrHMuIaA</link></image><item><title>Retrospective</title><link>http://tv.blinkx.com/show/er/0K8HOswIlYW3SlL8498ouTPaBBc#s15e22</link><description>John Carter opens his new medical facility and his former colleagues and friends come to show their support.

A biker with HIV is left brain dead from a robbery and his girlfriend wants to donate his organs to a fellow friend, who is also infected with HIV. Carter persuades Corday to perform the organ transplant after several surgeons refused to perform the operation.
